On Saturday, Oct. 8, the Environmental Health Division of the Saginaw County Department of Public Health is sponsoring a Household Hazardous Materials Collection Day in the Freeland area. This is the last collection day for 2005. The collections are made possible by a grant from the Dow Chemical Co. Foundation.

Materials that can be disposed of include: leftover household cleaners, gardening supplies and oil based paint products. This year, the Health Department will also accept used motor oil. Residents need to call the Environmental Health Division for an appointment at (989) 758-3686 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The collected materials will be safely recycled or disposed of at a licensed hazardous waste disposal facility.
